>>134016959You can't really compare American car prices to the rest of the world. For example, there's 180% sales tax on car purchases in Denmark, plus the 2 grand for the driver's license itself.I'm not sure about the exact prices in Japan, but it's more expensive than the US for sure.On top of that, araragi's car is probably an import.

Point being that for a middle class family with three children, giving something like that as a graduation present seems pretty excessive.>>134017010They're relatively cheap, but the cost of a brand new beetle isn't pocket change.

>>134017317I was thinking that the price would be around the equivalent of $40,000 in Japan with it being an import. According to >>134017291 and >>134017375 it's much less. Entirely reasonable for upper middle class.

>>134017534If we assume that they're relatively young police officers, each of them probably earn less than 3,000,000 yen after taxes.That's nearly the same as the base cost of the car, disregarding other expenses like insurance and a driver's license.Now consider the fact that they have three children, which will likely receive equally valuable presents.

>>134017595I think you're underestimating how corrupt Japanese society is at every level. Even ignoring the anomalous suicide and murder rates I mentioned earlier, can you explain exactly how it is that a country with a very high percentage of smokers and a ruinously unhealthy diet (no, seriously, it's far too high in salt and sugar) supposedly manages to have one of the highest life expectancies in the world?

>>134017721for all we know paparagi is chief police officer or commissioner or some shit that. mamaragi doesn't seem to have a big rank considering she was still using the police box a couple of years before the start of the series.

>>134017874>mamaragi doesn't seem to have a big rank considering she was still using the police box a couple of years before the start of the series.That wasn't implied to be her (and it was 10 years before, not a couple)

>>134017984Don't really think so. They use bidets and similar systems quite often in japan. Compared to your disgusting american way of wiping your ass with paper (who the hell came up with this?) it actually washes your ass and the area around your anus, removing fecal matter way more effectively. Think about this seriously: If you got shit on your finger, the least you would do is wash it until it stops smelling. You should do the same for your ass.

>>134016855>euroshitbox with emission cheating engine management>on a golf basis>heavier curb weight>worse economyI'm going to say this every time this comes up. He should've just gotten an EG6 or and EK9 Type R. Better yet, get some superior taste like Kaiki and get a Eunos.

>>134018321They didn't give him an apartment because he decided to live with his parents for a while because Senjougahara wanted to spend more time with her dad before finally moving in with with Araragi.

>>134018588But he wanted a beetle.We're not /o/ circlejerking about whether it's a good car or not, but how his parents can afford to give him a car equal in cost to the average household income of Japan as a graduation present when they've got three kids.

>>134021563Hanekawa is no way last on that list. She should be top on that list.

With braids and glasses, she's the sexiest of all monogataris. She's smart. She knows like almost anything. She's lewd while also not being lewd because she thinks of marriage when she wants to date. She'll also sacrifice herself to save a friend. Let me see your girl do that.

>>134021687And only knowing what she knows is sexy. Does anyone else have a catchphrase as sexy as that? Not only that, but we never see Kanbaru talk about marriage. We only see her talk about becoming Araragi's sex slave.

>>134021697Yeah, but Kanbaru doesn't want to marry him just give her body to him to do really lewd things.

I want Ougi to put her sleeves close to my erect dick.Then, I want her sleeves to slowly descend over my erect manhood so that I can feel her soft, pale hand stroke my dick as I ejaculate all over the insides of her sleeves.I don't want to see her hands though.

>>134022149Yes and? The only reason monkey is offering to be a mistress is because she's insecure and fears commitment. I'd give her that space until she's ready. And enjoy the amazing sex in the meantime.

>>134024436Nadeko tries to become a Mangaka, fails, and goes into making porn instead. Karen either takes over her dojo from her master or becomes a police officer. Tsukihi starts some kind of social job like talk show host or disco club manager, Sodachi gets some kind of soulless office job. And all the girls that are still around Araragi and know about oddities wind up living painfully boring lives after he bites off more than he can chew and dies forever.

>>134024436I just want to see Hanekawa, Araragi, Kanbaru and Karen become exorcists/specialists and go on adventures together, forming their own kind of Gaen network or joining the Gaen network. >you will never get to hear Araragi imitate Oshino>Karen will never start punching shit like Kagenui and carry Tsukihi with her like doll>You will never see Hanekawa advising Araragi on a plan of attack against an oddity only for him to screw things up>You'll never see Kanbaru lewdly teasing all the others while dealing with an oddityThis would be really fun to watch.

Senjougahara is a manipulative piece of shit just like Kaiki. If Karen is your Yozuru then Senjougahara did to Karen what Kaiki did to Yozuru. Sen/Kaiki manipulated Karen/Yozuru to get what they want. Which in Senjougahara's case was a place for Hanekawa to stay and for Kaiki's case it was to send an Onmyoji with a 100% kill rate after some guy's sister because he's butthurt his kindness came back to bite him in the ass.

>>134027644What about the fact Kaiki manipulated an entire organization at the cost of himself to help people?Just because he likes to admit he's a piece of shit doesn't exactly discredit the good manipulation he does.

My point still stands however, Senjougahara would be the Kaiki of the group.

>>134027431>Which in Senjougahara's case was a place for Hanekawa to stay and for Kaiki's case it was to send an Onmyoji with a 100% kill rate after some guy's sisterThat's not really a comparison that would make me call them both identical pieces of shit.

>>134027742Now that I've read the post you were responding to, I have a different counterpoint: the most important thing that Senjougahara does for Araragi is anchor him to reality. She knows this and probably wouldn't get involved in exorcist shenanigans because then he would be liable to stop caring about his mortal life. Plus, she would lose part of what makes her special to Araragi and she's too insecure to risk that either.

>>134027829Identical was probably not the word to use but then none of the cast are identical to the exorcist they are similar to. It's usually just a couple of key things. IE Knowing everything vs I know what I know.

>>134027930But that's my point. She's the "normal" one of the group. We know for a fact she keeps out of oddity business but she's met Black Hanekawa, a Crab God, Shinobu, The Rainy Devil, Snake God Nadeko but in the end she just calls it "an odd disease" and does her best to keep out of it.

Kaiki is basically the same diff in regards to the Gaen Network. Oshino, Yozuru, Teori and Gaen actively seek to deal with oddities. It's their livelihood. Kaiki just sorta runs into them and deals with it as it happens. He does do conning outside of his ghostbusting.

>>134028038Kaiki has actual power, uses his occult knowledge for cons, and will actually accept requests to exorcise. Gahara will never get that involved. She might become a pinch negotiator every once in awhile but that's about the extent of it. Her main role is to keep the home fires burning for all her friends who are actively involved in all this supernatural shit.

>>134028295Well, if you're trying to map characters by most similar then it technically works, but that's like asking what an apple is most similar to: a fern, an albatross, or a boat. Sure, the fern is the correct answer because they're both plants, but it's still a stupid exercise.

The real plot twist is that because of Araragi, everyone who actively deals with oddity business would end up being Oshino since Oshino's influence on Araragi influenced everyone else. Good thing that is as well. Hanekawa was on the road to becoming like best girl and committing mass good.
